Unfortunately people have a history of being nasty in Chat. It is easier just to play the game and not chat.
If you find yourself playing the same people all the time send them a message (after your game) and ask if they want to schedule a time to play a game.
Cheers!
Perhaps, doker, when noone wants to chat during your 5 minute games, they're the sensible ones.
For chatting, you go on a date. For chessing, you go to chess.com.
I never want to chat during a game. I want to focus on my game, not on answering distracting questions. After the game I generally toss out a “gg”, but it’s rare to run across anyone that will respond back. Like mentioned above, most of the time online chat seems to only bring out juvenile nastiness.
Why would I want to chat with a random person? When I'm in a game I'm there to play chess.
its getting more frustrating to play when most--- almost --all players refuse to use the chat function for simple questions or inquiries -- when you play a game live in person game - you at least acknowledge the person you are playing-- no matter what the skill level - come people at least let the person at the other end know your not a bot at least
I
AM
NOT
A
BOT

There are a significant number of players on this site who use the chat to be rude; to try and put you off your game; and to just talk nonsense.
I disabled chat many years ago and have no intention of re enabling it.
i guess people just dont like typing???
people never say good things unless they have to
Because if I talk I lose focus
people never say good things unless they have to
Good things.
Now please stop pointing that gun in my face
Please don't discriminate against donkeys

Please don't be frustrated. I acknowledge you. I am not a bot. How can I be of further assistance?
Talking can be distracting
Tocqueville wrote about the strength of associations in America. The internet is uprooting that. Anonymity makes it so you can participate insincerely.
